I am very excited to be offering a week-long retreat on one of the most beautiful islands of the Mediterranean . Rest, recharge and reset with twice daily Yoga practice, delicious local food and swimming in the turquoise Ionian sea.

The stunning island of Corfu, with a history dating back to the kingdom of the Phaeacians, is situated in the north-west part of Greece, in the Ionian Sea. With a rich mix of cultural influences, including Venetian, French and British, Corfu is known for its lush green surrounding, beautiful beaches, crystal clear blue sea and the famous Greek hospitality.

Our venue is located on the tranquil bay of Dassia, 15 kilometres north of the historic town of Corfu and airport. We will stay at a beautiful family run boutique hotel that is only a stone’s throw away from the Blue-Flag awarded beach.

Yoga

Our retreat day will start with pranayama (breathing techniques) and short meditation followed by an energising Vinyasa practice to awaken the body and mind. Modifications will be offered for all levels. We will dedicate time to break down challenging poses. Insights into the philosophy of Yoga will be offered to encourage reflection.

The late afternoon session will be deeply relaxing and quiet and will combine restorative and Yin postures. We will close with meditation.

All our yoga practice will take place on the covered wooden terrace next to the beach. Mats will be provided but please feel free to bring your own.

There will be a free half day during the week to offer the opportunity to explore the island.

Accommodation

The seaside venue consists of two buildings surrounded by luscious gardens. All rooms are ensuite, uniquely decorated and offer double and twin beds. There are shared and quiet spots and indoor and outdoor lounge areas.

Food

All meals are buffet style and vegetarian/vegan with locally sourced produce. Fruit coffee and tea will be available before the morning practice. Brunch, afternoon snack and dinner will be offered daily apart from the free half day where only brunch and an optional afternoon snack will be offered.

In this workshop, we will break down each asana that forms the namaskar sequence; explore the links between them; learn safe transitional movements; develop an understanding of alignment; learn modifications to suit all levels and explore the conscious connection between breath and movement.

Join me and Erika Shapiro for a summer retreat in beautiful Sardinia at the gorgeous eco-retreat centre Balaiana. Situated in the north of the island, a place known for its natural beauty, the centre offers the perfect backdrop for relaxation and practice.

In this workshop we will focus on freeing up the front and sides of the pelvis and strengthening the spine so that we can dive into safer and deeper backbends. The practice will include pranayama (breath exercises), meditation and a long savasana session.
